When you are literally breaking ice to go riding, you know you are committed to the sport.

When you are literally breaking ice to go riding, you know you are committed to the sport. Commitment isn’t a problem for the young Irishman David O'Caoimh, who despite hailing from what he calls a “small, cold, wet, island” has had phenomenal success at a very young age. After gaining a second in the world champs in the Junior Men’s division he went on take out the prestigious Chill and Ride in Germany. And even if a stellar pro career in wakeboarding wasn’t a given (which by the way it is) that wouldn’t be so much of a problem, with David studying Economics and French in University, as well as already being fluent in Spanish. But for now the studies are playing second fiddle to his riding, his annual trips to South Africa, Orlando and the mainland, combined with an intense cross training and gym work means the young Irishman is one of the most exciting prospects on the planet. Always up for a laugh and chat, and totally committed to improving himself and his sport, this is a young man whose future is so bright he has to wear shades, well except at home.
